I recently noticed a really awesome feature in Matchbox. When it is set to have windows in free mode (rather than fixed), one can drag those windows from /anywhere/. As long as the widget being dragged does not handle the necessary click events itself (eg: Is a button, text box, scroll bar, etc), the event is handled by Matchbox and used to drag the window. I found that very smooth and very smart. It is quite a unique feature in the world of operating systems.
Now for the question: Why is such awesome functionality currently only found in a window manager intended for PDAs? Has there been discussion of implementing this feature for Metacity? It would be particularly useful with the discussion of changing window decorators, since this would keep moving windows on Metacity's end so we never lose that functionality. Thanks, -Dylan
